Can you eat at night?😉
⠀
We are forced to eat in order to replenish the reserves of energy and material that is involved in the construction of cells and tissues of our body.
⠀
Consumed products contain carbohydrates, which are easily digested, increasing the level of glucose. In the case of an active lifestyle after eating, the resulting sugar is completely absorbed by our muscles, and it does not remain for “extra” kilograms.
⠀
Nutritionists do not recommend having dinner before going to bed, because the sugar received with food does not have time to be processed by muscles, because after eating we immediately go to sleep.
⠀
The processed glucose, entering the liver, turns into fat, which settles throughout the body in the form of excess weight. At first, this can lead to obesity of your internal organs, and then to diabetes mellitus, hypertension, atherosclerosis.
⠀
During sleep and rest, not only our brain and organs rest, late dinner also “sleeps”.
Despite the sleep of some organs, the pancreas has to work actively, producing the enzymes necessary to break down the consumed proteins, fats and carbohydrates, and the gallbladder secretes bile, which digests food.
⠀
However, due to the stagnation of the duodenum, bile cannot get further along the gastrointestinal tract and stagnates in the gallbladder, turning into a thick mass, and then into stones.
⠀
In addition, putrefactive processes of fermentation of undigested food take place in the intestines, which cause allergies and intoxication. Decay products as a result of decay enter the bloodstream, causing poisoning of the whole organism
⠀
To avoid harmful processes, experts recommend:
have dinner no later than 2-3 hours before going to bed;
after eating, some time should be devoted to small physical exertion, for example, a walk before going to bed;
⠀
late dinner should not include products with a high content of carbohydrates - rice, bakery products, potatoes. They need to be replaced with cabbage, carrots or buckwheat porridge 🥗
⠀
The diet should have a distributed calorie load: breakfast - 25% of the total daily norm, lunch - 30-40%, dinner - 15-20%.
